Hello everyone. First post on Rig-Talk.
Anyone have any experience with a Holy Diver bridge in a Gibson Les Paul Standard? I see tons of info about it in a Custom, but not much in a Standard. My particular LP is a little heavy, close to 10 pounds, but I feel it’s a little on the bright side. How would the Diver do in that thing? Going for a pickup that can do 80s metal to modern metal and all in between. Favorite tones include Jerry Cantrell, Marc Diglio (XYZ), Nuno, Nolly, Jeff Loomis, etc... You know...that thick, greasy, chunky, chewy tone. Currently, I have a Duncan Custom with an Alnico 8 mag installed. I like it, but it’s missing something. Not real tight unless I’m using a boost in front of my amp and it’s pretty bassy.
I welcome any other suggestions of pickups (and other manufacturers) people have had good luck with in an LP standard. I play through a Fractal at home, but have a 5150 and a Dual Recto for live stuff. I’ve also owned Aftermath, Painkiller, and Juggernaut BKPs. The Juggs are in a Jackson HT7, which is the most beastly 7 string I’ve ever had. Love them in that guitar. The Aftermath and Painkiller didn’t do it for me.. almost too middy. I also have a Duncan JB installed in a Charvel SoCal. Love it in the Charvel, but I wasn’t crazy about it in my LP.
I’ve heard good things about Arcane and Motor City pickups, too. However, I have yet to hear a response from Rob from Arcane.
Thanks everyone!

It's a tad tighter than the alnico
